Hi all,
I have been addicted to this site now for a few weeks and I wanted to thank everyone for sharing all of their knowledge and experiences! I have already learned so much. Here is my situation: my boyfriend and I have been looking for an engagement ring for months now. For a while I was sure that I wanted a simple round brilliant solitaire...until I tried some on in the carat size that I will probably be getting (somewhere between 1.5 and 2) and found that the ones that I really initially liked were probably larger than that, because it seemed to look too simple on my hand. (I do know that through trial and error I seem to like a very thin band and a low-set, 6-prong basket.) I started looking at the very thin pave bands, which I like, but I''m worried may take away from the center diamond. What I''m really looking for is a way to make the center stone look larger. I tried the pave halo as well as a regular bezel and didn''t really like them. I thought of putting little diamonds on the tips of the prongs so that they could be seen from above. Has anyone seen that, or does anyone have other ideas for how to make the center stone appear larger? I love my boyfriend so much and I keep reminding myself that he is the real gift, but I can''t help but want a perfect ring! Any advice would be tremendously helpful. Thank you!
